A slow-burning Delta blues tale of pride, grit, and roots. “Red Clay Crown” carries The Swamp Tones’ raw slide guitar, deep harmonica, and weathered vocals through five minutes of Southern soul.


Red Clay Crown

A rowdy, uptempo Delta-country stomp from The Swamp Tones. Midnight Holler captures the firelit chaos of a backwoods gathering — stomps, claps, resonator slide, and gritty harmonica driving a full-throated call-and-response chorus that won’t quit ‘til sunrise.

Midnight Holler

A driving Delta-country blues anthem of grit and resilience. Stone in My Blood pounds forward with a relentless train-beat groove, resonator slide, electric bite, and gritty harmonica — a defiant stand from The Swamp Tones that proves some things can’t be broken.

Stone in My Blood

A slow, swamp-gospel blues from The Swamp Tones. Black Crow Preacher stomps heavy in a minor key, with resonator slide, bass thumps, tambourine shakes, and eerie harmonica cries. The preacher’s shadow stretches through the pines as “Amen” chants echo his apocalyptic warnings.

"Blood Moon Jubilee" is the sound of a backwoods revival under a red sky — stomps, claps, and slide guitar rising like fire through the swamp night. The Swamp Tones turn grit into celebration, singing for the lost and the living in a defiant blues stomp. This track is a field holler for the modern day — raw, ecstatic, and unchained.

“Hollow Log Blues” strips The Swamp Tones back to the bare bones — resonator slide guitar, foot stomp, and a haunted voice drifting through the pines. Inspired by the raw Delta recordings of the 1930s, this track echoes hunger, ghosts, and resilience from a world carved in mud and shadow. It’s not just a song — it’s a porch hymn for the forgotten, carried on a hollow log of sound.

“Ashes of the Serpent” is the fiery heart of The Swamp Tones’ album — a Delta-born field-holler blues turned revival stomp. Slide guitar cuts sharp, stomps and claps thunder like a congregation, and voices rise against the venom in the soil. It’s a preacher’s cry and a rebel’s hymn — where old roots burn and new ones rise from the flame.

Ashes of the Serpent

“Midnight Burden” is the Swamp Tones stripped down to their rawest bones — resonator slide guitar moaning over a bowed bass and the steady stomp of a wooden floor. A slow-drag Delta blues prayer, it carries the weight of confession and the hope for release. Heavy with shadow but searching for light, this is the sound of a soul walking through midnight alone.
